Examples

"In a party fight, a prophetic sense of danger, hangs, as it were, over the crowd -- the very air is loaded with apprehension; and the vengeance burst is proceeded by a close, thick darkness, almost sulphury, that is more terrifical than the conflict itself, though dearly less dangerous and fatal.
